  1. NP: Wrong Turn - Elia Cmiral

    No great shakes with this one. Atmosphere and chills dominate but it's very listenable.

  2. NP: Drag Me To Hell - Christopher Young

    "Concerto To Hell" is the popular track on this album. But, I have a soft spot too for the theme featured in "Tale of a Haunted Banker". Perhaps a bit too much atmospherics for a completely enjoyable and interesting listen.

    Technically He already did that with Ice Age: Continental Drift, but I'd forgive you (or anyone) for forgetting that movie and score exists. wink

    Now all we need is a Powell Bond score (a real one, Agent Cody Banks doesn't count, shut up Erik), a Powell Marvel score, a Powell fantasy epic, a Powell Star Wars and a Powell Western. Oh, and he can have the Avatar sequels too. Not too much to ask, is it?
  5. Wouldn't the third X-Men count as his Marvel film?

    If I want a John Powell western cue, I listen to The Fire Truck from Evolution wink

    I should maybe try Pan again.
    Aside from some clever tracks like the pirate Nirvana chorus, it's just a few tracks standing out to me.
    For the rest it's ...welll...business as usual, I guess.
    So, not bad, but nothing I'd listen to again over any of his other scores.
    So I wonder what I'm missing?

    (And I'm a HUGE pirate-score fan, too!)

  7. I guess. I meant MCU, though.

    I do see what you mean, but "Fire Truck"'s not that western-y, to my ears. If anything, "Morning Routine" from Rio is the closest thing he has to a full-fledged Western theme. Some parts in Bolt as well, now that I think of it.

    I'm listening to it because it's new Powell material and all the other scores have been worn thin. tongue

    I do think that it doesn't actually sound all that piratey, though (actually less so than the How to Train Your Dragon scores!). A disappointment, but only a slight one. It's just a really strong adventure score.

    Yes, it does. This whole seperation between the MCU and non-MCU films is bullshit. The X-Men are Marvel comic book characters so the X-Men series are films are Marvel films.

    NP: Gamba - Benjamin Wallfisch

    First listen... I'm really pumped for this one.

    EDIT - Oooooooooh.... and there's Lee Holdridge's The Beastmaster. shocked

    -Erik-


    Ok... giving this one another shot. This score could be this year's IRON WILL or LAIR. Those two scores are so derivate and chalked full of tempitus it's not even funny. Well, GAMBA sounds like one gigantic temp score. Stuff from Attack of the Clones, Galactica, Beastmaster and everything in between is in this. I've taken off my critical cap and I'm just going to enjoy this for what it is. It's a big orchestral adventure score that's right up my alley. Maybe I'll be a bit more forgiving this time around. But temp tracks still suck donkey nuggets!

    I'd put it as my fourth favourite JP score, but it has (perhaps) my third favourite cue from any Jurassic score. All the Jurassic Park scores are brilliant, I love them all.

    Casino Royale David Arnold

    I miss Arnold. I wish he'd stop fucking around and score more films. He is, and always will be, one of my favourite composers.

    Apparently the new Independence Day film will 'feature themes by David Arnold' and be written by Kloser and Wander.

    Shit.

    This is just a full on masterpiece of scoring. The pinnacle of Goldsmith's broad talents. If you don't appreciate this track, then you either haven't heard it or understood it. (Fact.)

    Good but could be better IMO. That 'lick' from the theme song should have been used more in this, I find a lot of Arnold's action tracks directionless.

    ( I'd still warmly welcome him back to Bond though )

    Here we agree. AWESOME! JG still following his Star Trek TMP / Vaughan Williams vibe here.

    Watched the fabulous movie again this afternoon. My favourite Bond film and Bond score. "African Rundown" is superb (the stunts are mindblowing) but that track was trumped (see what did there) by the spectacular "Miami International." The slow burn of that cue is wonderful to behold in the movie!

    Great. GREAT. GREAT STUFF!

    PS - "You Know My Name" is the mother fucking bomb!

    I don't think Jurassic World is all that either, but I honestly can't understand anyone having THIS level of contempt for it. Also, putting the word music in inverted commas - crazy

    Also, put me in the camp that puts "Miami International" over "African Rundown" - although both are SUPERB.

    Sorry, it's just something about Giacchino -- his style of composition seems almost biologically adverse to anything I can appreciate, and I've given him about a million chances over the years. So far, only JOHN CARTER has managed to stay in my collection, and even for that I have to be in a certain kind of mood (I also like LOST, but only in the series, not on album).

    All of the scores I've heard from him this year -- JW, INSIDE OUT and TOMORROWLAND (which is now churning relentlessly in the background), only irritate. I hate music that irritates me. And when he seems to be embraced as the Second Coming by most everyone else, the undeserved praise irritates even more.

    I feel the same way about, say, John Barry's action music. Insanely annoying. Fortunately, he's often relieved by gorgeous, long melody lines when he goes more 'romantic'. That's not the case for Giacchino.
    I am extremely serious.

    This is so over blown. Spielberg's makes some comment before Giacchino writes his The Lost World video game score and every one thinks it's scripture. rolleyes

  25. Thor needs to hear Giacchino's Small Soldiers and Medal of Honor scores... that's where his genius lies IMO.

    I don't much like his later output either. The repeating four chords get on my nerves.

    ^ Yes. His video game work is still the best music he's ever composed! The first Medal of Honor and Secret Weapons Over Normandy are masterpieces!

    I prefer his film scores, and I think this year has seen (or heard) some of his best stuff, where his music seems to have gone up another phase. Jurassic World is fantastic, and Thor's rather odd but amusing vitriol towards it confirms it!
  28. ^ yeah

    NP: Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) - Tyler Bates

    Very noisy in places but with some great moments too. RC/MV meats Jerry Goldsmith one might say. Overall an enjoyable, robust space opera romp.
